Sarah Leonard Death Michigan 1969

[Famtreebuilder]

I'm trying to find death information for Sarah Leonard (nee Kelly) who was born 20 June 1884 in Denny, Stirlingshire, Scotland and emigrated to the US in 1926.  Her husband Michael John Leonard died in June 1963 in Michigan as per the SSDI.  I have a note that Sarah died in Detroit in 1969 but I can't find anything to corroborate it.  I have found her on the 1930 and 1940 US Census returns living in Detroit and I know for sure she was alive in 1949 as I have found her travelling back to Detroit then.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for that Shellyesq - I thought they would be in Mt Olivet as their sons who died in WW2 were buried there.  It seems all 4 of them are in the same plot.

Does anyone know how I could find/order Sarah's 1969 death record?  Also where could I search for obits for Sarah and Michael?  Thanks again.

If she did die in Detroit, there is information about getting a death record here - http://www.waynecounty.com/clerk/death_certificates.htm

The Detroit library will do obituary look-ups for a fee - http://www.detroitpubliclibrary.org/specialservice/obituary-search

Just to update I posted Sarah's burial details on Find a Grave and someone has kindly photographed her memorial for me so I now have her exact date of death (7 Feb 1969) which should enable me to get her death certificate and make finding an obit (if one exists) easier.  Thanks again
